I was thinking today about my kids.
Having a daughter who has the highest GPA in her class and a son who wins 2nd place on a gymnastics event in a 5 state region is pretty amazing. So I was thinking, what made this all happen?
I was a good student but I don't ever recall having the highest grade in class - and I wasn't particularly athletic. The same could be said for my wife Monica - a good student, who played basketball a bit - but again, nothing that we could pass down genetically.
So what was it exactly?
The organic food we buy?
Vitamins?
No, I am guessing it's probably stamping - I can't really prove it but there is something about just being around the creative process of making everyday greeting cards that seems to make people better.
I am sharing today a few more ideas from our Sparkly Bird Bonanza release. The card above uses our new scalloped A2 size postcards and a piece of patterned Biscotti paper. The scalloped card (Aqua colored) is such a classic shape - and it fits just right inside of a matching Aqua A2 sized envelope.
The Chickadee (F1257) is colored with Copic markers and the background is stamped with our new Seedburst (E1265) image. Of course, a generous application of jewels makes the whole thing sparkle.
An Azalea pink jewel in the center of the flowers and some Lagoon Jewels scattered on the bursts is just enough dimension.
This little notecard (actually a Truffle A2 card cut down to square size) is a wonderful "just a note" card. The Tweet Bird (E1263) is centered between the new Cappa Flourish (B1264), which is stamped top and bottom to give the card a formal feel.
Make this card and send it off a s a "just because" greeting - and make the world smarter, and more athletic.
Oh Dave, I love you dearly.
your other mom, joanie
